"THAT I WAS REJECTED FROM ALL OF THE MED SCHOOLS I APPLIED TO FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS I APPLIED"

I dont have any real reason for linking mine in my sig other than that I saw others doing it, thought it was cool, and decided to join the herd. I'm a big follower. Sorry I offended.

I think this is a very good website that gives applicants ideas about their fellow applicants expericiences.
I dont think someone posting an almost perfect mcat and gpa is boasting if anything at all it gives us with mediocre scores the chances to peak into the life of "perfert mcaters" i.e. if they are telling the truth.
so please let's bickering and encourage eachother through this grueling experience

Good luck to all that accepted and better luck to unsuccessful applicants

Peace

She withdrew from her waitlist at Johns Hopkins for her George Washington acceptance. Nice.🙂

No offense to the original poster,

However, I think this thread is stupid. If you don't want to know someone's stats or profile, why even bother paying attention to the fact that they have a profile up??????

If you don't care don't look. I think you are jealous of the posters on this board having great statistics.


Personally, I like to see where these people are coming from and wish some of the other posters had their profiles up whom have been accepted because I like seeing what people's numbers and activities were and where it landed them acceptance letters too.

It helps me out and other people out.

Completely agree.

I wish more people would put up an mdapplicants thing. It's helpful...not really THAT helpful, but if more people put their stuff up there, it would be. THough, I can understand why people would be reluctant to do so.

I kind of worry that it lets the med schools know EXACTLY who's posting on SDN. It crosses my mind whenever I vent on here.

AECOM is in the bronx (yuck) Drexel was obnoxious and JHU told me there was no way in hell I'd get off the waitlist. You happy now? 🙄


edit: I'm taking it down. 😡

This is particularly ironic, because the sarcasm is muted since those who know will agree that the crewdude will indeed make a very good doctor.

So will Brickhouse. I, on the other hand, will likely make a crappy one.

*exerpts*:
"Psst! Where does this thing go again?"

"Nurse, may I have a....you know....one of those things with the curve in it.....you know with the handle..."

And of course sleeping with as many of my patients as possible.

And only using two voice tones: yelling and thick sarcasm.

My friend always does this routine where he makes up these scenarios of me in an operating room:

Me - "um, so like, where's the aorta? Wow this is all really gross"

Nurse - "Dr. don't you remember that from medical school - did you even go to medical school?"

Me - "Is that the place with like all the people in short white coats? Yeah, I totally went there....oh hold on my cell phone is ringing, 'hello? oh my god there's a sale at Barney's?' - ok, could someone like finish this or whatever? I gotta run"

Dr. Brickhouse pulls off her designer Louis Vuitton custom made scrubs and prances off to her Kompressor convertable - cherry red - matches her nails - and goes to pick up her queeny friends at his Manhattan flat, where she finds him sipping a martini and waxing his upper lip....

Don't worry about it, Mr. Holmes.

I'm sure she has me confused with someone else.

Holy smokes, this thread started at 2 in the morning and already has 4 pages
😛

Just my opinion, but I actually liked seeing John/Coopper and Exmike' s profiles, Cooper's allowed me to see that a 43 really was possible hence I'm now working towards that. And Exmike's showed that you're never truly down unless YOU take yourself out of the race.

Either way both show where hard work will get you.

And as for the others I don't see it as bragging, there are plenty of profiles on ppl's signatures that are pretty normal with ok stats. When I apply will be posting mine up, its just another way to let the SDN community what you're about.

Sorry Brickhouse. I was just curious.

Sounds like Sex in The City meets E.R.

This is how I envision my social life as a physician. Brickhouse you are cool. 😍

Brickhouse: Just curious, how did you find out there was no chance in hell? I really, really want to know what my chances are for Cornell but if the waitlist is not ranked, there's no way to know. Is JHU's ranked?

 

[camstah]

this thread has inspired me to....put mine back up!!!!! i don't mind when others post their mdapplicants profile, because, like someone else said, i follow what some people say on this board, and it's cool to see where they are coming from....as for bragging, people don't need mdapplicants to do that....most people just do it in their posts....those who do this know who they are....

so, without futher ado, my profile is up and running again....

I think they divide their list up into two sections - one section you have a shot - the other - well I can't remember the exact wording but it was like "although you are placed on the alternate list, given your position on the lower half of the list, you will not receive any further consideration" - or something like that.

 

[traumamonkey]

yeah, the hopkins adcom is just too nice to actually say to your face that you've been rejected post-interview. so they blow smoke up your *** while you're there and then say how wonderful you are, BUT due to your placement on the lower half of the waitlist they are shredding your file and blocking all incoming calls from your number.

but really, i'm not bitter or anything.


as for the profile thing, mr reddly: now that we know your purity score will people start posting their okcupid profiles too? (or did someone other than the spark rate your purity?) i want to know how many of the trolls, etc. out there are classified as "the last man on earth." and i'm sure they'd upload some great photos too. yikes.
god i love the internet!



and where do you guys get all of those fabulous smilies--i feel so inadequate!

 

[Peterock]

I always like it when people post their profiles as part of their signatures. It kind of gives a quick snapshot of who they are, especially when they toss in humor into it. It definitely serves to show where people end up based on numbers, ECs etc. I don't think I've ever read anyone's profile and thought... "Gee, that @sshole is bragging!" Keep them up. I appreciate them.

Who? What? Where? Is my purity score posted some where? Didn't think I ever even finished one of those tests... The spark? I'm confused. 😕
Could you explain what you mean?

i'm so sorry mr reddly--i thought by the blurb under your avatar "81% pure" that you'd taken the purity test. never mind, never mind.
i recently took their new test (the okcupid thing) and have found it addictive (nearly as much as SDN), primarily for the really scary people that show up there. the photos are often amusing and the self-descriptions even more so.

but i'll take a look and see if i can find out where someone else is posting your purity score 😉
that's why we have google.


(perhaps i should've paid more attention to the advice in your signature🙁 )

Nope. Must be under someone else's avatar... Unless it's something I can't see. The blurb under my avatar should say "3rd waitlist on the right (or was it left?)" indicating the 3 waitlists I'm on... Oh well. It's all good. 🙂

(perhaps i should've paid more attention to the advice in your signature🙁 )

It's there to remind myself that very same thing 😀 That and for irony when people read some of my more stupid posts.

i just realized it was eraserhead who had that figure (guess i was celebrating a bit too much last night).
well, mr reddly i think this might just be a little challenge to see if you're more or less pure than eraserhead....
oh, and CONGRATS eraserhead--you've been busy!
